SOLVED. Literary fiction about two boys, an older lady, and her distant past in Spain and something to do with bullfighting. [s]

[Anita Cee]

I'm pretty certain I read this book within the last 5 years. It might be set in North Carolina or Virginia and it's about two younger boys, and this older lady who sort of adopts them but I don't remember why. And there's something about bulls, and when she was in Spain as a young woman, and bullfighting and maybe a romance when she was in Spain. I had thought that the name was magnificent creatures or Beautiful Creatures or fabulous beasts or something along that line but I cannot find anything. Thank you for your help!
